Negative Consumed Value Issue

[atif_farooq]

Hi:

I have a consistency check in place for avoid negative budget during budget posting or transfer in FMCCA and it is working perfectly fine for me. There is an issue in Posting side. Assume there is no budget available at all for a particular budget address and user any how credit an expense account which in turn derives that budget address and generates a negative consumed amount which is not desired at all by client. We want to stop negative budget consumption for these scenarios but for FI reversal entries we do not want this check. What is the standard way of getting this done in SAP FM-BCS. Please guide me.

Looks like you can consider using different ceiling type in tolerance profile.

Hi Ming:

Ceiling approach stops document reversal process which is not desired at all. In case of document reversal system should reinstate budget but in case of a manual credit to GL with a commitment item for which there is no budget at all in fund center system should not make consumed budget figure negative.

Well, you can have two torlerance profiles with different ceiling types. You then design a torlerance profile derivation strategy so that reversal transactions use one profile and other transactions use the other one.
